During freshman week, the House puts on a Field Day in which the three classes compete against each other in epic contests of water balloon toss, pie eating, and tug of war, just to name a few. During the year HoCo and the Masters put on entertaining events like Iron Chef, Family Feud, pumpkin carving, and Assassins. The only notable black mark is the weak stein clubs, especially compared to Dunster’s epic...
